Antique art
Anna Spoerre | @annaspoerre Marion Mitchell, of Carbondale, poses for a portrait inside his workshop Wednesday after restoring his second horse tricycle. The retired teacher, who considers himself a local expert on antique toys, said the pre-Depression era plaything was originally manufactured in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, before a production plant opened in Carbondale in 1930 where Mitchell said the final pony tricycle was made around the time of World War II. "They were a high end toy, they were a class act, they were a Cadillac,� Mitchell said of the aluminum pony, which in 1929 sold for $17.50. About 80 years later, Mitchell bought his first one for $10 and restored it for the University Museum where it now resides. He and his wife, Polly Winkler-Mitchell, found the second pony, named Speedy, at a local yard sale just a few years ago.

Remembering Mary Tyler Moore OLIVIA SPIERS | @_spierso
With little more than an acceptance letter to California State University, John Hochheimer moved to Los Angeles from New York to jump-start a career in radio. It wasn’t long before Hochheimer, a retiring SIU professor of radio, television and digital media, was introduced to one of the biggest names in the entertainment business: Mary Tyler Moore. Moore, known for her roles as Mary Richards in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Laura Petrie in “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” died of pneumonia Wednesday in a hospital in Greenwich, Conn. She was 80. While in college, Hochheimer worked as a union driver for Mary Tyler Moore Enterprises in the height of Moore’s career. His job was to transport writers, producers, and actors, including Moore. Hochheimer thought back to the “family dinners” Mary would have on Fridays after shooting. He said everyone
would sit at one long table and eat dinner together, chatting about the day. Those “family members” he ate with were iconic actors Betty White and Gavin Macleod. “There was no hierarchy there,” he said. “Whether you swept concrete or acted, everyone was treated the same.” Like Hochheimer, Moore moved from New York to California in hopes of finding success in the entertainment business. Moore found her success in the 1970s with four Emmy awards for her role as Mary Richards, and two Emmy’s for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Moore also founded Mary Tyler Moore Enterprises with her husband, Grant Tinker, former CEO of NBC, who died Nov. 28. Moore transcended the traditional ideals of womanhood through her strong, feminine television roles. She often had American viewers questioning new issues of birth control, equal pay and sexuality. While working on set with Moore, Hochheimer witnessed her innovative ideas when she began providing platforms
for budding performers to make a name for themselves. One of those young artists was comedian Jay Leno. “[The crew] was different from any other team in Hollywood,” Hochheimer said. Hochheimer said he knew Leno from clubs in Boston before he became the regular warm-up guy for the show’s live studio audience. After a long career as a professor of journalism, which included founding the journalism program at Ithaca College in New York, Hochheimer followed his passion to SIU. Shortly after arriving in 2006, he started his one-hour weekly jazz radio program on WSIU Radio, which he plans to continue after retiring. Hochheimer said he was sad to hear Moore passed. He would never forget her “million dollar smile” and “resiliency in the male-driven entertainment industry.” “Anyone who knew Mary will remember how she handled her struggles with such grace,” Hochheimer said.

Students propose Faner Hall mural DIAMOND JONES | @_dimewrites
The Hispanic Student Council is asking the university to allow that a mural be painted on Faner Hall in response to recent negative media attention and conflict within the institution. The registered student organization sent a proposal letter to the chancellor’s office during the fall semester for consideration of the artwork. If approved, the mural, titled “Unity at the Heart of Campus,” will be painted in the Faner breezeway, covering two walls between the A and B wing of the building. Mercedes Gomez Jacobo, the originator of the idea for the mural, came across the idea in 2011 when she was working toward her master's degree and organizing projects as the Director of Arts for the university’s Student Programming Council. Jacobo said the pitch price to the
chancellor totals $27,000 to complete the mural on both walls, including other expenses. Lori Stettler, the university’s interim vice chancellor for student affairs, said she had to review the proposal before sending it to the chancellor’s desk for final approval this week.
funded by the Undergraduate Student Government. But the graffiti display was discontinued because of the teachers strike that year, she said. Jacobo said one of the reasons she wants to see the project move forward is to help students from metro areas feel more comfortable when they visit the university.
“If administration doesn’t put any money toward it, then that's just the yes that will push us to rally and fundraise to get the money,” - Mercedes Gomez Jacobo graduate student in geography and environmental resources
Jacabo said she and other fellow students have worked on getting a similar mural on campus multiple times without success, so as an alternative, in 2011 they held on-campus art classes on graffiti,
“Coming here, it was hard for me to adjust from urban to rural,” Jacobo said. “The university openly spends money on attracting students and should spend money on something
that makes us feel at home.” Jacobo, a Chicago native studying geography and environmental resources, said last year's May 2 events that protested social issues such as academic diversity and racism pushed her to put the effort back into creating the mural. She said she hopes it will give people on campus something positive to talk about. Esteban Del Valle, a well-known mural artist and SIU alumnus from Chicago, would be the creative director for the project if it is approved under the council’s proposal. He completed a mural for the Longbranch Cafe & Bakery in Carbondale and will soon be traveling to Spain to complete another one. “If administration doesn’t put any money toward it, then that's just the yes that will push us to rally and fundraise to get the money,” Jacobo said. “I have people ready to make donations but I won't take anyone's money until I know
we receive complete approval.” The mural would take up to two weeks to complete, according to the proposal. There would be two town hall meetings held two months apart and open to the community, alumni and university to contribute ideas for the vision of the mural. Valle would then create a draft from the ideas and wait for approval from the mural’s committee for the final painting. Jacobo said she would like students to participate in painting the mural but it would put more money on the price tag for insurance. She said Valle will be accompanied by an assistant and the mural wouldn't need a touch up for another 10 years. “Art is about all walks of life,” Jacobo said. “I want it to bring the campus together, and I feel as if this can create a sense of unity.”

Black art exhibit launches in Morris Library rotunda OLIVIA SPIRES | @_spireso
A month-long art exhibit, “Black Art: A Visual Dialogue,” will be showcased in Morris Library in honor of Black History Month. The exhibit will be launched at a kickoff event at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the library. The gathering will feature a presentation by Elizabeth Lewin, interim associate chancellor for institutional diversity, along with information about upcoming events. “Remembering our history is important,” Lewin said. “It often gets overlooked, which is where these events come into play.” The 14 art pieces will be on
display in the first floor rotunda of the library to “celebrate SIU’s black community,” said Sarah Prindle, library research guide and coordinator for the show. Najjar Abdul-Musawwir, the professor who is curating the exhibit, said the works displayed are made by alumni of the university including himself and Crawford Wilson, an accomplished local artist. “The artwork generates a sense of nostalgia of western art, with African elements,” Abdul-Musawwir said. Crawford created a series of portraits called “Invisible Heroes” last February, which portrayed the 1990 vice president for academic affairs,
Benjamin Shepherd. Crawford also won the university Rickert-Ziebold Trust award in 1982. The artworks range from portraits of influential AfricanAmericans in history to abstract pieces. This assortment of art “gives way for a better portrayal of the emotions behind black life,” Abdul-Musawwir said. “All of the work shows the narrative of the black experience,” Abdul-Musawwir said. “And it’s a beautiful thing.” Staff writer Olivia Spiers can be reached at 618-536-3325 or ospiers@dailyegyptian.com.

Neil Gorsuch nominated to Supreme Court MICHAEL DOYLE AND ANITA KUMAR McClatchy Washington Bureau
Michael Doyle and Anita Kumar | McClatchy Washington Bureau The Supreme Court confirmation drama starring Judge Neil Gorsuch will now unfold in a mix of choreographed and improvised moves. Some steps are highly stylized, like Gorsuch's courtesy visits to senators. Others start out of sight, as researchers track his long paper trail. Some will be splashy, like ad campaigns targeting vulnerable lawmakers. Then there are the new twists, which have already started with President Donald Trump's unusual prime-time nomination announcement Tuesday, which was preceded by an all-day buildup of suspense. On Wednesday, Trump escalated the drama and sense of unpredictability by urging Senate Republicans to "go nuclear" if necessary to break a potential Democratic filibuster. So, with caveats, here's what will happen next. Meeting and greeting Gorsuch, accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence, started a round of courtesy calls with a midmorning
visit Wednesday to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He followed up with the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. There will be many more to come. Judge Merrick Garland, nominated by President Barack Obama last year, met with at least 50 senators last year as part of a futile bid that ultimately was blocked by Republicans' refusal to hold a hearing. Gorsuch himself placed a phone call to Garland. The private meetings tend to last a half-hour or so, and are designed more for ice-breaking and political theater than for persuasion. "I enjoyed very much our meeting a few weeks ago and appreciated the chance to talk with you then," Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama told Democratic nominee Elena Kagan at her 2010 hearing. Sessions voted against Kagan, as did most other Republicans. Pressure building The White House immediately launched a Twitter account, @ Gorsuchfacts, and posted information about Gorsuch on Facebook. Pence went on Rush Limbaugh's radio show Wednesday afternoon to make
the case, while Trump met with allies including Juanita D. Duggan of the National Federation of Independent Business and Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association. Interest groups, too, will weigh in, big time. This is their opportunity to shine and to show their muscle. From the right, a group called the Judicial Crisis Network says it will initiate a "broadcast/satellite/digital ad buy" that will start at more than $2 million, in the states of Missouri, Indiana, North Dakota and Montana. Trump won the presidential vote in each state, in which Democratic senators will be up for re-election in 2018. From the left, the website of People for the American Way asks visitors to "make an urgent donation," while the group has declared plans for a television ad campaign. Dirt digging Researchers will vacuum up every public word the 49-year-old Gorsuch has ever spoken or written. In 2009, for instance, conservatives leaned heavily on their discovery of Sonia Sotomayor's assertion about the advantages of a "wise Latina" in a 2001 speech at the University of California, Berkeley.
Gorsuch himself will deliver loads of information, which the Senate Judiciary Committee will make public on its website. New readers are now riffling through the 320 pages of his 2006 book, "The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia," which Amazon listed Wednesday as out of stock. More intrepid souls will check out at the Library of Congress some of the 858 boxes of papers from the late Justice Byron White, for whom Gorsuch clerked. Nuggets can be found anywhere. The initial 1971 nomination of the late Justice William Rehnquist, for instance, hit a bump when researchers uncovered a 1952 memo he had written while clerking. In 1971, and again in his 1986 nomination to be chief justice, Rehnquist effectively disavowed the memo that had seemed to support a notorious 1896 court ruling on segregation. Vote counting and vote posturing Any Senate Democrat interested in running for president probably must satisfy the party's base and oppose Gorsuch. Obama showed how this works when, as a senator in 2005, he opposed the indisputably wellqualified John Roberts Jr. as chief justice.
One ambitious Democrat, California Sen. Kamala Harris, said via Twitter that she was troubled by Gorsuch's nomination, while another, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, quickly announced her outright opposition. "I plan to stand up for individuals over corporations and oppose his nomination, and I will insist that his nomination meet a traditional 60vote threshold," Gillibrand said. Unlike lower court nominations, current Senate rules still permit Supreme Court nominations to be filibustered, and thereby need 60 votes to proceed. Another Senate Democrat, Sen. Jeff Merkley ofw Oregon, has likewise announced he will filibuster. The Senate's 52 Republicans will almost certainly fall into line, meaning that eight senators who caucus with the Democrats would have to defect. So long as the filibuster option remains possible, this will rivet attention to the likes of West Virginia's Sen. Joe Manchin, who represents a state Trump won by 41 points. "Let's give the man a chance," Manchin said Wednesday on MSNBC.
SIUE records second-largest spring enrollment LUKE NOZICKA | @lukenozicka
Enrollment at SIU-Edwardsville decreased .52 percent compared to spring 2016, university officials said Wednesday. That puts total enrollment at 13,276 students this semester, a reduction of 70 students from the year before. It marks the secondlargest spring enrollment in its history. Comparatively, spring enrollment at the Carbondale campus saw a drop of 7.4 percent from the year before, putting its total at 14,636.
At one point, enrollment at SIUC more than doubled that of the Edwardsville campus. Now, total enrollment at the two is within 1,360 students of each other, putting SIUE on track to surpass the Carbondale campus in students if the trend continues. Traditional undergraduate enrollment at SIUE also reached an all-time high of 11,022 students, officials said in a news release. “The spring 2016 enrollment success is a reflection of the dedication, work ethic and creativity by those in enrollment
management as well as the diligence of faculty and staff in creating a vibrant, innovative and nurturing living and learning environment at SIUE,� SIUE Chancellor Randy Pembrook said in a statement. SIUE saw its largest increases in the School of Nursing, the School of Engineering and the School of Business. Online and off-campus enrollment grew by 180 students, or 16 percent, from last year, the university reported. Staff writer Luke Nozicka can be reached at 618-536-3325 or lnozicka@dailyegyptian.com.

Illinois representative visits SIU to detail legislation for free college FRANCOIS GATIUMU | @frankDE28
Democratic Rep. Will Guzzardi visited the university Thursday to advocate for free public university education in the state through legislation he plans to sponsor. The representative discussed amending the state’s tax code with a 3 percent surcharge on personal incomes over $1 million and closing “some of the most egregious corporate tax loopholes." These measures, Guzzardi said, would generate enough income to pay tuition for every in-state student. In the event that the bill passed, private universities would consequently “curtail their tuition making them more accessible,” said Guzzardi, a graduate of Brown University. The representative of the 39th district is also a proponent of other reforms, including protecting workers’ rights and tackling the state budget. Guzzardi, a 29-yearold Illinois House member from Chicago, presented his plan to a crowd of students, university employees and area residents during a talk hosted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute. Guzzardi said he recognizes the crisis of student debt and the burden of its load because it’s one he still shoulders. “This issue is personal for me,” Guzzardi said “I’m carrying tens of thousands of dollars of student debt.” Guzzardi spoke of the situation that public universities are currently facing and could face if the state’s 18-month budget impasse continues, blaming Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner for Illinois' financial woes. “There are several institutions in this state that might not be

As public colleges around the state are cutting back on programs, Guzzarrdi said he thinks the legislation might be a remedy for what ails Illinois’ universities.

SIU baseball picked second in MVC preseason poll JONATHAN THOMPSON | @TheReal_Jt3
After an accomplished season last year, SIU men's baseball is a strong favorite to contend for the conference championship. The Salukis finished with a record of 12-46 (6-15 MVC) in 2015, but turned it around in 2016 to go 31-25-1 (11-10 MVC) — the most wins for the program since 2012 and the largest turnaround in the NCAA from 2015 to 2016 — which gained them a lot of respect coming into the 2017 season. Southern received 53 points and three of the eight possible first-place votes, the program's highest spot in the preseason
poll since 2006. SIU is even garnering national attention as the Salukis received a vote in the USA Today Coaches' Top25 Poll. Dallas Baptist is the preseason favorite after hosting its first-ever NCAA tournament regional last year, garnering 59 points and five first-place votes. All of SIU's nine starting position players return this season, as well as three of its four starting pitchers.. Of those nine, junior pitcher Michael Baird, senior pitcher Chad Whitmer and junior first baseman Logan Blackfan were selected to the All-MVC preseason teams. SIU is one of two schools to have at least three players on the all-conference
team, with Dallas Baptist having five. Baird led the MVC with a 1.76 ERA in 2016, the best of any returning starter in the nation this year. He was also named the MVC Preseason Pitcher of the Year by Baseball America on Wednesday. Whitmer went 7-4 with a 2.77 ERA, the fifth-best in the Valley, and Blackfan led the league with 23 doubles, batting .296. SIU opens its season on Feb. 17 at Stetson. Southern's home opener is March 3 vs. Western Illinois. Staff writer Jonathan Thompson can be reached at jthompson@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @TheReal_Jt3.
Six former Salukis were honored at the hall of fame induction ceremony on Friday in Saluki Arena. Hubie Dunn, 1939-1943 Dunn was a six-time individual champion during his senior year at SIU. That same year he was captain of the gymnastics team — one of the best teams in the country at the time. After graduating, Dunn was a junior officer on the USS Shubrick, one of the ships to storm the beaches of northern France on D-Day. He then went on to coach gymnastics at Washington State and Northern Illinois, coaching 48 individual champions. Dunn passed away in February at the age of 94. His family represented him at the induction dinner. Alexis Moreland, 2001-2004, football Moreland was a three-time AllAmerican safety for Saluki football. He’s second in SIU history in passes broken up (25), sixth in tackles (358) and tied for 13th in interceptions (eight). SIU was back-to-back Missouri Valley Football Conference champions during his junior and senior seasons. He was a finalist his junior year for the Buck Buchanan Award, an honor given to the best defensive back in the Football Championship Subdivision. Gwen Berry, 2008-2011, track and field Berry was one of two former Saluki throwers who competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics last year. She finished 14th in the hammer throw event. Berry was a three-event All-American as a Saluki, competing in the hammer throw, weight throw and shot put. She was a four-time Missouri Valley Champion and United States Track
Association Midwest Region Field Athlete of the year in 2011. Berry was not the only former Olympian inducted. Bianca Stuart, 2006-2009, track and field Stuart was a two-time Olympian for the Bahamas as a long jumper. She finished 17th in the 2012 London Olympics and 16th in the Rio Olympics. In 2015, Stuart won a silver medal at the Pan American Games. She is the only four-time conference champion in the long jump in league history and a two-time All-American. Stuart still holds the school and MVC record for both indoor and outdoor long jump. Jason Frasor, 1996-1999, baseball Frasor’s 12-year career in the MLB came to a close in 2015 when he was a member of the World Series champion Kansas City Royals. He appeared in 679 games across his career for six different teams, mostly with the Toronto Blue Jays from 20042012. Overall, he posted a 3.49 career ERA with 615 strikeouts. As a Saluki, he was named a two-time “Itchy” Jones team MVP. Frasor is second in career strikeouts (278), fifth in career starts (41) and eighth in innings pitched (272.1) in SIU history. Ray Tabacchi, 1953-1956, baseball/ basketball/football Tabacchi was a six-time letter winner across the three sports, but excelled at baseball. In his senior season, Tabacchi was a First Team All-Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection with a .314 batting average. He was named team MVP during his junior and senior years. After graduating, Tabacchi signed with the Kansas City A’s and played in their minor league system for five years.
